Investigation Summary
At 8:00 a.m. on January 9, 2020, an employee was tasked to look for a route to install plumbing lines for a bathroom on the second floor. The area itself was a room with a hallway in between, leading to another open area, and to one side was a frame wall with no drywall up, and the other side was a framed elevator shaft with no drywall up and no railings on part of the wall. The lighting itself was very poor, only about 0.02-0.06 fc. The employee was talking to a coworker while looking up at the ceiling and walking backwards and, in the process, he walked through the opening in the wall to the elevator shaft and fell to the ground, approximately 5 feet, hitting beams that were inside the shaft on the way down. The employee sustained serious injuries to his leg and hip and was hospitalized.
